Front Field 瀬名波

It's a private house with a stylish interior, and I felt comfortable using it. I could walk to the beach, and there are tasty bakeries, cake shops, and pizzerias close by. Hoshinoya Okinawa is nearby too, so I often went to its cafes. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Yomitan or Onna village.

We spent four days and three nights in this stylish, three-story condominium. Having a BBQ grill was a real plus. It's handy that whale-watching and scuba-diving tours leave from the nearby fishing port. We'd stay here again.

The house had no curtains anywhere, even in the bedroom, so the light came in early in the morning. Worse, when we arrived at the agreed time, the keypad code didn't work and we couldn't get inside. We called every number listed on the booking platforms, but all the phones were switched off. After more than an hour of trying, our family was stranded and scared in a foreign country where we couldn't speak the language. We went to the local police station for help, but they couldn't reach the landlord either. We had to search everywhere for somewhere temporary, whatever the cost or quality, and didn't find a place to rest until after midnight. The next day we couldn't move to a new hotel or continue with our planned itinerary. The landlord texted us the following day to say the keypad code was wrong and sent a new one. We could only enter after that. They never came to check on us after the incident and communicated only by text. After many complaints, they offered to refund the night we hadn't stayed, but refused to cover any other losses. Safety and reliability matter most when staying abroad. It's hard to believe the landlord gave us an invalid code and phone numbers no one could answer. I've traveled independently in Japan for over 15 years and never experienced anything like this. I sincerely advise anyone who cares about the quality of their trip and accommodation safety not to book here.

The decor was cute, but the place didn't seem very well maintained. Having three floors also made it a bit awkward to get around.
